Swiipr

We wish a safe and smooth journey to everybody travelling over the end-of-year break. Whether you’re going home for Christmas or on vacation, we know many of our LinkedIn followers are among the most frequent travellers in the world, so there's every chance some of you are still en route to your destination. We hope you are all able to complete your trip with as little hassle as possible this year. Happy holidays!

The recent high winds in the UK were a good example of how crazy weather events can affect airlines, even at Christmas. And the snow in New York shows it's not just the UK where passengers suffer due to events outside their carrier's control. Because the festive season is one of the busiest for air travel, any disruption has a bigger knock-on effect than it would at other times. We know airlines work harder than usual to assist stranded passengers during these incidents - when the global IT outage hit last year, Swiipr saw a 229% increase in welfare payments by our partners in the three days after the incident.
